Gym was closed this morning, so I dove into JavaScript instead. Sometimes the best coding sessions happen when you didn't plan them.
Had this interesting realization about Cursor today. It's absolutely incredible when you're lost - like having a GPS when you're completely turned around. But the moment you know exactly what you want to build? It becomes almost useless. The tool that saves you when you're confused becomes a hindrance when you have clarity.
It's a perfect metaphor for how tools work in general. They're context-dependent. Your needs change, and suddenly that amazing solution becomes just another obstacle.
The Family Person I Forgot I Was
Spent the evening visiting my sick grandma. Didn't realize I was still such a family person until that moment hit. We get so wrapped up in our coding journeys and career goals that we forget these fundamental parts of ourselves.
Sometimes life forces these reminders about who we actually are beneath all the technical aspirations.
Networking Through Clothing (And Why It's Not Shallow)
Tomorrow's shopping day for college clothes. Before you roll your eyes - hear me out. Your dressing sense is literally part of your networking strategy in tech.
Call it shallow, but first impressions still matter. Looking the part opens doors that pure skills sometimes can't. It's not about being fake; it's about communicating that you belong in the spaces you want to be in.
Time Moves Weird When You Pay Attention
Writing "Day 31" reminded me of Day 21. Ten days ago, I was way more clueless about so many things. It's wild how much can shift in such a short timeframe.
Makes you wonder what the next 10 days will reveal. Time moves differently when you're actually paying attention to it instead of just letting it pass.
The real insight? Even 10 days can make a massive difference. So why not try something new every single day?
